The GM determines the DC based on the action you're taking. Critical Success You excel at what you are doing, learning secrets from the program or advanced functionality. If it's a game, then you win it with record timing based on average completion rates. Success You manage to operate the device in the necessary manner, including getting basic functionality. You gain general information from the program. Failure You can't understand the program or game and take a –2 circumstance penalty to further attempts to access or play it for the next day.
